You know what I hate?

what I hate is when you havent been to ( insert pool hall ) in months or a year or so, and you walk in to play a tournament and everyone who plays a ball or so better than you or even, wants to gamble with you, but will only play if they have the nuts!!!! yet you might have not hit a ball in a while and they live at the pool hall lol.


as Chino has stated, I've seen the hot girl with a dork boyfriend in the pool hall all too often lol, or the BF might be able to shoot some, but will only gamble if he has a lock.... so he can show off to his GF.

I've made it a rule not to gamble when my gf is with me. I also don't try to gamble with anyone who is with their gf unless they ask. I've lost a cheap set to someone on purpose once because he was with his gf. I made it back on a different day when she wasn't around.

I'm usually a really positive and optimistic person, but sometimes I hear the most annoying things when I'm at the poolhall.

Maybe its just me, but it especially bugs me when I hear someone say, "I should bring my friend, he'll beat everyone in here. He was the top geometry student when we were in high school and now he's an engineering major at [fill in your favorite Ivy League school here]!"

Is it just me? What are the other outrageous things you've heard?

"My uncle/dad/brother used to hustle with a mop."
If I got a dime everytime I heard that....
 
A lot of humor here no doubt! lol

I guess I'm pretty tolerant went it comes to newer players or showoffs. Maybe immune is a better word. lol

What bugs me is are folks who beat themselves up for the way they play but never practice.

Aye chihuahua! :rolleyes:
 
i just recently got back into playing, and started going to one of the pool halls here. after about the third time up there, the young dude workin there comes up and asks me to be on their league. well needless to say, I was a little shocked, cuz Im not exactly shooting lights out. then he goes on to tell me how much I suck, and thats a good thing cuz the handicap system favors "weak" players. Then he tells me how ugly my stick is, and wants to play me for money, lol. Im not very good, I admit it, but damn, just come out of nowhere and tell a guy he sucks, and his cue is ugly, and then want to gamble? wtf! I declined his offer to be on the league and pretty much ignored him, lol.

You should tell the young dude that you will join his team if he pays all your leagues dues and buy you a new cue.

If he says no, tell him he sucks.
 
I was at a local tournament a month or so ago and ran into a guy playing with his lady friend. The guy was losing and starting making lousy excuses, and THEN! started to cheat, and she called him on it, and he started throwing the biggest fit of a late 20's man could. I watched him rack up a set of 8 ball. It irritated the hell outta me, he basically racked them by hand, into a big rectangular pattern. He told the guys on the next table that it was a legal rack because the 8 was in the middle. I wanted to step in and tell the guy my personal opinion about him, but I didnt want to cause a scene.

Sounds like the late 20's guy is the "ass" in the term "low class".

And to Punter-I'm not much of one to pick on people who either just started or just started back. I am more into donating to guys(or ladies) that I cannot beat. That's just how I roll. And if you have ever seen any of my cues, you would know that I have ZERO room to make fun of anyone else's. I just have to ask, have I done something to offend you? If so, please tell me. Thanks, Matt

it wasnt worth causing any trouble. this dude is young, single, and living it up. I just smiled and acted like I should have, MATURE, lol. Some day, he will look back and go "Damn, I acted like an idiot!" I know I did when I was younger.

Sounds like an arrogant and inconsiderate little pr!ck. The reason he tries to pick on you is probably because he has a small wiener and he tries to make up for it by showing how big his a$$hole is lol

I hate cheaters and whiners. Those guys should have a status over their head that says Man-B!tch on it. First off, why would you cheat, be a good sportsman and play fairly, especially when you are playing with a lady friend. Than racking by hand, meaning it is a lose rack like his a-hole because he has been repeatedly raped by big bubba, that is just plain old wrong, looks to me that the guy need a good lesson and embarrassment to make his night perfect, should've stepped in Prodigy, could've made good money, given that he is pissed off, he wouldn't think about jack, could've stepped in and called him out, if he tries to fight you or argue with you, tell him to argue it on the table and throw money down. Bam, a quick lesson on embarrassment and a fast $20 :thumbup:

They don't call me Chino Dollar for nothing lmao jk jk, more like Chino, give me your dollar lmao

happy shooting! :)

i don't think you know what the guys talking about when he's mentions people that won't gamble unless they have the nuts. i only say that because you commented that they're the type we need at the pool hall to make money off

:o I am a bit confused on that part, what do you guys mean unless they have the nuts. I just thought it meant that unless the guy have the balls, he wouldn't gamble because he is afraid to lose.

Having "the nuts" means that the gamble agreed to is to such an advantage to the guy with the "nuts" that you might as well just give him the money and not waste the table time. It's also known as a "sure thing" in other gambling venues.

People who need the nuts aren't gambling they are trying to steal.

What DelaWho said
 
Ran into a guy that thinks he knows me. Says he won some big 9 ball tourney in Toronto. Won something like $3000 and 3 pool cues. Wants to play me a game. I was in the washroom and I come back and hes holding my wifes cue.
I asked her whats going on and she says he asked to use it. I say no f/n way
and take the cue away from him, he says to me, I have a $1200 cue, I say good, go get it or get a bar cue. I get one off the break and combo the one in after, He asks if I called that shot. I said I don't have to. He says yes you do, we're playing bar rules.
So, I say you're the big tourney winner and you don't know the rules. He says, I know the rules. I sweep the balls around the table. Games over, see ya later.
I hate that crap.
Some nights I just seem to be a retard magnet.

You can have all of the knowledge in the world about pool, but if you can't execute it on a pool table in competition then what good is it other than to teach someone that doesn't know.
